304 Stainless Steel Plate is One of the Important Materials in Home Decoration

304 stainless steel plate is one of the important materials in home decoration, and its anti-corrosion, hard and bright characteristics are deeply loved by the owners. However, many friends still lack understanding of stainless steel. So, what is 304 stainless steel plate? What is the difference between 304 stainless steel plate and 201 stainless steel plate? Below, let's follow 304 Stainless Steel Plate Supplier to take a look!

1. What is 304 stainless steel plate

Stainless steel is another name for stainless acid-resistant steel, and is a kind of stainless steel. 304 stainless steel is one of the most common stainless steel materials. Density: 7.93g / cm3; temperature resistance 800 °, easy processing, strong toughness, widely used in industry, home decoration, medical equipment industry.

(1) Physical properties

Tensile strength ≥520mpa; conditional yield strength ≥205mpa; section shrinkage ≥60%; specific heat capacity 0.5kj * kg; expansion coefficient 18.4; resistivity 0.73; longitudinal elastic modulus: 193; thermal conductivity 21.5; hardness ≤187hb, ≤ 90hrb, ≤200hv; elongation ≥40%.

(2)304 Stainless Steel Plate

First of all, 304 stainless steel plate is suitable for food processing, transportation and storage. It has good plasticity and can be used on plate heat exchangers, tableware, cabinets, and water heaters; then, auto parts, water heaters, building materials, and food industries are also involved. It can be said that 304 stainless steel plate is the most widely used stainless steel plate.

2. How to distinguish between 304 and 201 stainless steel plates

(1)304 stainless steel plate and 201 stainless steel plate from a distance, the surface is the same gloss, matt color. But we can identify it by other means. When viewed directly with the naked eye at close range, the color of 304 is saturated and shiny, and the touch is very smooth; while 201, it will be slightly dark, the color saturation is low, and the hand will feel a little rough. In the case of water-wetting experiment, the watermark on the surface of 304 is very easy to remove, and 201 treatment is very troublesome.

(2)Distinguish by the grinding machine: when grinding 304 stainless steel plate, the sparks are short and few; while 201 is the opposite, the sparks are scattered and there are many. When distinguishing in this way, the family should maintain the same polishing intensity.

(3)Distinguish by stainless steel pickling paste: apply the washing paste on 304 and 201, and observe the color change; if the color is white or does not change color, it is 304; on the contrary, the blackening is 201.

3. What are the characteristics of 304 and 316?

304 mirror stainless steel: it has the characteristics of high temperature resistance, good processing performance, good toughness and strong corrosion resistance. Widely used in handicraft industry and furniture decoration industry and food and medical industry. Mainly used in household products, auto parts, medical equipment, food industry, agriculture, ship parts, etc.

316 Stainless Steel Plate: has good oxidation resistance and good welding performance. Used in the exchange of pulp and paper making equipment, dyeing equipment, film washing pipelines, exterior materials for buildings in coastal areas, and also in the field of battery valves.

304 stainless steel plate is a very reliable and durable steel, everyone can use it with confidence, I hope the above explanation can help you understand 304 stainless steel plate more comprehensively.
